THE global health crisis has forced Casterton’s P&A Society on to a new path for the ongoing revitalisation of its annual show – and the committee has accepted the challenge with gusto.

With more than $63,000 in its pocket from the Federal Government’s Regional Agricultural Show Development Grants program, the society is about to embark on a major renovation of the Island Park showgrounds – a project which will see local tradies kept busy for several months and a venue reminiscent of the show’s heyday, when it was held at the Robertson St grounds.
